The only end of terrorism is in the final
confrontation of all mankind posed as positive and
negative.

The difference is strong bodies with broken souls compared to the Lord with
broken body and a strong soul. For this, defeat will be always—again and
again.

Through knowledge, Satan has brought arrogance, selfishness,
confusion, chaos, and discontent; and he has muddled wisdom through blame and
accusation. Therefore, Satan is evil and must be denied and rejected.

Religious leaders in all levels of prominence need
maturity of understanding that works of charity, crusades, and like
benevolence; all are conducted in the name of humanity for its own sake. And
only then is the name of God honored—not the other way around.

It is proper and crucial to
support the Mark Levin plan for
a State Constitutional Convention. We have entered critical mass
and risk loss of liberty and way of life. (See:

THE FALLACY ABOUT SOCIALIZED
MEDICINE Health Care stands
alone as a subjective issue of individual personal health and individual
personal relationship with a practicing physician. Medical needs and thus
Medicare are a consequence and not a determinant of the fundamental
patient-physician relationship.The health-to-care relationship cannot be
administered by a central authority in a free society, other than for
professional, ethical, and moral reasons. The Health Care
system cannot be compared to the Social Security-Medicare and Military systems
with regard to a successful implementation.The Social Security
system is not subjective, but in essence a numbers-based system responsive to
specific pre-calculated requirements. Medicare in a similar way is a need-based
system numerically calculated to provide benefits, but not to dispense medical
evaluations.The Military is an honorable but unique structured society formed for
a specific purpose. Discipline causes this structure to be antithetical to a
free society; and it exists based on voluntary service or by conscription in time of need
for the protection of a free society.
It is Marxism-socialism-communism and dictatorship that debase a society and
force it into loss of freedom.

Axioms:

No other government virtue in a free society exceeds
the role of government acting only as monitor and enforcer of laws.

Compensation for incompetence is solved in the United
States: be President or politician.

To feign accomplishment, failure destroys when unable to achieve.

Community organizing defines rabble rousing.

It is the ideology of Marxism-socialism-communism and
not the ideology of Americanism that damages America.

Pursuit of personal self-image by any political
figure highest or lowest is of no significance—and is in fact
destructive—considering the reputation and welfare of the Nation.

The Office of the President always renders dignity to
its occupant. The occupant always can destroy the dignity of that Office.

You are important only when you are important. And when you are important,
best be humble.

Did you know that the Capitol building in
Washington, D.C.[as well as in many other cities in the U.S.
and abroad, and also many mosques] was modeled after and inspired by
the great Church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople?

WHO HAS THE
COURAGE?

It is not enough to hear sundry politicians—not statesmen—presidential hopefuls,
ranting commentators, self-proclaimed pundits and experts as to how the economy
is doing now or will do in the future. Reason dictates that had such knowledge
been applied before, the situation would not have been as it is today. More
should be known and more should be applied. The question that needs to be
answered with precision and commitment is what exact steps will apply that will
save the economy and the future of the Nation. Demagoguery has exceeded its
limits.

A known fact is that the current condition (year 2012) is dismal, and that it
will continue to be so and even become worse if repeated. On the other hand, no
concrete plan has yet been solidified despite the mounting urgency. Empty words
are useless tools.

The underlying problem will not be resolved by complaining about and
manipulating the symptoms rather than dealing with the cause—a disingenuous and
misleading activity. The United States reached its success because of several
favorable circumstances, in addition to the unique form of government in its
initial structure. It began with a public spirit of self-reliance by its early
settlers, positive effort, and an unquenchable desire for freedom. Its
geographic location spared it from major negative involvement with most of the
world. This allowed enough time for society to organize, mature, and expand, and
to culminate as a world power and leader after its participation in World Wars I
and II. The combination of favorable events to a large degree has ended. Even
the topography has now been neutralized by the dramatic advancement of
technology on the earth’s surface and in space. The change has been swift and
abrupt. And, it is for this reason that humanity’s mindset has expanded, making
it easier to shift the focus toward a one-world government.

However, this notion of oneness embraces a profound fallacy. It contains
an insidious implication of a dominated populace ruled by a central singular
authority—that is, a world dictatorship. The fever of oneness is therefore one
of the fundamental maladies that have begun once again to afflict humanity. This
is at the expense, for example, of individuality or personal identity; of
freedom of thought, speech, choice, mobility; of ownership and conveyance of
property; of assurance of personal physical and mental safety; and of religious
freedom and justice. Implementation of oneness imposes similarity of appearance
(witness Mao Tse-tung uniforms), behavior, thought, and the eradication of
diversity. Therefore, oneness is the sinister tool that debases the integrity of
a free society. The method used is dual and resorts to the weaker nature of
human beings: One is to incite greed (an economic issue); the other is to appeal
to man’s humanity (a social issue). Social issues are garnered with humanitarian
references and promises of utopian serenity and wealth allocations that secure
lasting happiness and joy.

On the other hand, the economic aspect of oneness harbors its own concealed
cancer that affects at the core the material needs of all human beings. This
approach is insidious as well and destructive of the economic integrity of an
evolved society. An unfettered accumulation of material wealth always leads to
the ultimate concentration of power and control. This is achieved under the
guise of free trade. The term is a misnomer for what it is supposed to
stand for. That is, in an honest interpretation of what the term should mean,
the correct label is fair trade. The latter means trading in a free
manner with anyone, but in a way that is equitable and honorable on both
sides—even when exercising the precept of laissez-faire. Free trade, therefore,
unveils a clear weakness wherein under protection of the system those engaged in
the activity are free to perform in any manner of their choice—either fair and
honorable or unfair and dishonorable. This situation presents itself to the
United States today.

Three pillars comprise the foundation of a civilized evolved society. That is to
say, there are three basic elements that support the existence of an
accomplished, independent, and preeminent society. These elements are
agriculture & fishery, resource extraction, and
industry. The absence of any
one of the three elements forecloses on the ability to be such a society. It is
self-evident that without agriculture & fishery a society cannot be formed above
the level of a small group or family unit dedicated to a struggle for basic and
perilous survival. Resource extraction constitutes the next element that
provides the many needs for the survival and welfare of humankind—including
underground-surface-sea activity for energy and usage. However, all these needs
notwithstanding, a society would remain backward and to a degree uncivilized
without the contribution of the third element: industry. This third supporting
leg of the structure is what creates the wealth of a society. It is the function
that transforms hidden wealth to evident and usable wealth that can be consumed
by its creators or offered to others in exchange for yet additional needs.

The massive exodus of the industrial base of the United States on the pretext of
global trade condemned this Nation to a state of abject mediocrity. The premise
that competition should subject domestic industry to annihilation is tantamount
to betrayal, when competition from abroad is practiced on unfair terms. In
addition, such unfairness is even more reprehensible when practiced on the basis
of near slave labor. To be sure, the excesses of organized labor in the US are
in need of eradication. Nevertheless, the outlook should not be the lowering of
the standard of living of the US population to the global level in order
to accommodate the desired oneness cited above.

For those who agonize for free trade, it seems strange how they are anxious to
subject American products to the fire of competition, while loathe to struggle
with the same tenacity in keeping industry at home. They seem to be ignorant of
the fact that a society with an industrial base is far more prosperous than one
without. And, they seem to misunderstand that an impoverished and dependent
society is a downward spiraling participant in a competitive trade setting. Fair
trade is legitimate and best suited when dealing from a position of advantage.
The immediate profit motive should not be the dominant factor in estimating a
trade arrangement. The long run consideration should prevail. Therefore, it is
imperative for the United Sates to recover its industrial preeminence and
preserve the advantage of skill and technology.

Are those in
positions of leadership in this Nation prepared to do this?

Marxism vs.
Christianity

Marxism and
Christianity are in diametric opposition:

Marxism is
compulsory.

Christianity is
voluntary.

Marxism is
repressive and unnatural.

Christianity is
liberating and natural.

Marxism dictates
communal living and an artificial caring-love from the top down.

Christianity
advocates communal living and caring-love from the individual up.

///—I
am eclectic traditional. By eclectic I
mean that although traditional, I also prefer to be open-minded to accept
possible improvements in my viewpoints. I
believe that life granted us by God is not to be experienced as a summary
event of constant convenience and accommodation. It
is instead to be taken as a serious commitment of duty and personal
improvement. And in more applicable terms, I believe in our
American constitutional way of life devoid of progressively permissive
liberal or fascist (read dictatorial) ideologies [see: An Analysis].My
position includes love for our Country, our Constitution and Laws, our Flag,
and our Christian God. I
am opposed to abortion, except for confirmed medical emergencies.Capital
punishment for heinous crimes as prescribed by law is applicable,
irrespective of petition for spiritual relief and forgiveness of
perpetrators. I
believe that marriage is a sacred event only valid between a man and a
woman—homosexual
unions [re:the Chris Wallace Show]are worldly affairs of private and legal nature that
cannot be sanctified, but whose participants may receive redeeming prayers. I
support severe punishment of child molesters. I
believe that forgiveness is not a path to permissiveness. I
do not support compulsory celibacy of the priesthood of any rank or
denomination. I do not support the ordination of avowed homosexuals. I support ordination of women who as men must
also be deserving and worthy. I
support, "don’t ask; don’t tell; don’t do" for the military. I
have definite convictions on theological matters; yet, in view of the importance of the unity of
our Faith, I seek the grace of our Lord in allowing me a
broader understanding and cooperative spirit. I
believe in the education and spiritual elevation and not in the
indoctrination of our youth. I
support limited terms in government for elected office in all phases and levels; and, I
support frugality, honesty, integrity, transparency, and accountability by all government
servants on all levels—elected, appointed, and career. I
oppose nationalization of our health insurance system. I
support tightest protection of our national borders in conjunction with
allowance for lawful entry and strict prohibition of illegal immigration. I
oppose unfettered amnesty for illegal immigrants in the absence of
prequalifying repatriation requirements. I
support open markets; yet,
I
categorically advocate the label and practice of “fair” markets and not
“free” markets. I
consider that transfer of our industrial base abroad has begun to shatter
our economic strength: We are
under a dramatic loss of even the skills in the industrial environment, and
thus We have wounded our
precious and incomparable competitive spirit—let
alone the siphoning of our national wealth to other countries to which we
are now indebted. The
misguided bogus venture to be a “service” economy has instead rendered Us a
“servant” economy. The
underlying problem America faces today is not economic: it is cultural.—///

and named after himself (Constantine+Polis [city]=Constantinople).
By means of these pages, our readers travel through time, touchingupon the early periods, including that of Constantine, of historicalConstantinople, and of Hagia Sophia—the nexus of the Christian world—toarrive atplaces and events of our present day.Our readers reach the outermost limit to which both Eastern and
Western Christian groups expanded, bringing forth the flower of Western
Civilization. That limit is the Western Hemisphere as a whole, and in
particular the coast of California near San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge
where the two groups converged as they approached from the North and from the
South.
